Package: svxlink-server
Version: 24.02-5
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: dm5aha@darc.de

Dear Maintainer,

I discovered svxlink-server is not built against libgpiod which affects
the useability of the software. It is not possible to configure squelch
and PTT signals using the GPIOD driver, but only to use the deprecated
sysfs-GPIO-driver.

To reproduce create the following sample configuration `svxlink.conf`

```
[GLOBAL]
LOGIC_CORE_PATH=/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/svxlink
LOGICS=SimplexLogic
CFG_DIR=svxlink.d
TIMESTAMP_FORMAT="%c"
CARD_SAMPLE_RATE=48000

[SimplexLogic]
TYPE=Simplex
RX=Rx1
TX=Tx1
CALLSIGN=DB0CSD
EVENT_HANDLER=/usr/share/svxlink/events.tcl

[Rx1]
TYPE=Local
RX_ID=A
AUDIO_DEV=alsa:plughw:0
AUDIO_CHANNEL=0
SQL_DET=GPIOD
SQL_GPIOD_CHIP=gpiochip0
SQL_GPIOD_LINE=16

[Tx1]
TYPE=Local
TX_ID=A
AUDIO_DEV=alsa:plughw:0
AUDIO_CHANNEL=0
PTT_TYPE=GPIOD
PTT_GPIOD_CHIP=gpiochip0
PTT_GPIOD_LINE=17
```

Start SvxLink

```
# svxlink --config /etc/svxlink/svxlink2.conf

```

It shows, that the GPIOD driver is not available, although libgpiod is a
dependency since version 24.02-2.

It seems SvxLink is not built agains libpgiod as version 24.02 requires
version 1 of libgpiod, whereas Debian Trxie ships version 2 of libgpiod.
Due to the implementation of SvxLinks built system, not suitable
libgpiod is found and the feature is disabled with just a notice but no
build error (https://github.com/sm0svx/svxlink/blob/24.02/src/svxlink/trx/CMakeLists.txt#L65).

I would like to recommend to backport the support for libgpiod version 2
from https://github.com/sm0svx/svxlink/commit/79d25bc6115cb89d61a86447cea85775473e2138
to allow to use this feature under Debian Trixie.

Many thanks in advance
Kind regards
